Forbidden Periodicals

I remember these kinds of forbidden periodicals spied from the corner of my eye at squeaky magazine racks--at the bottom, next to the detective magazines more than thirty years ago. More than likely it was an Eerie Publication, which specialized in horror comics (in magazine format, in order to beat the Comics Code) with especially gruesome covers. Sometimes, the art directors at Eerie got a little lazy. See (1) See (2)... Sometimes they added way too many monsters.

Sometimes Jawdropping

A great and sometimes jawdropping collection of cool but sleazy pulp cover art of the fifties and sixties from Hip Pocket Sleaze, including this oddly prescient cover of a cheap sixties paperback.
